"You ask me why feel so young;
I'm sure. friends. can't tell.
But think It IL my good wifes fault
Who kept mo up 10 well;
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale of tears:
She's given me love, and hope and strength,
For more than forty years
"And then my boys have all done well,
As far A. thev have gone.
And that thing warns an old mans blood,
And helps him up and on;
Ny Rirls have never caused panE
Or raised up anxious fears;
Then wonder not that feel young
And hale At seventy years.
"why don't my rood boys do my work
And let me sit and restf
All friends, that wouldn't d9for met
like my own way best.
They have their duty: have nina
And till the end appears
Imean to smell the soil my friends"
Said the man Of seventy years
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1887-11-06
Toll'ver'a Nell.
From I'D Bis.


She's little mite o. creetur,
lIar'ly knee high ter duck,
But ter sight cutter, sweeter
Face has never been my luck.
Hair a middin' sorrel color,
Eyes that make the sky look duller;
Thet'her style an suits Inc well
Ez tho rest OF Toll'ver's Nell
Lawsi she wouldn't reach my shoulde,
Boosted up on tippy toes
Yet feel or right smart holder
Wen she ain I so ve'y close.
Gurus tibet gel sh'u'd dAze me,
Wen no man er beast kin faze mel
Pears like it's kind o. spell
No one hes 'cep Ton'ver's Nell.
I am not much use ter takin'
Any word OF any man;
BUT set plumb scart an thAkin'
Wen she 'casiOn'ly seq, "DAni
How long fore YEN low it's truo
That hey no use for yon 7"
She's master hand TO tell
Cuttin' things Is roll'yer's Nell
Thar be men 'ud git offended
BY such plain-0nt tax, ye sAyt
Well IL pears ez II I'm Tended
Stron'th TER stan II this away;
Fer I'm bound ter stick TIL she
Takes me ter get shot O. me;
Ye kin wear out Anv gel
Tho shes sot ~ roli'ver's Nell.
